What's this classic Ferrari?

I spotted this parked up in Notting Hill just after Christmas. I was running late, but this just stopped me in my tracks. I've no idea what it is/history etc so quickly took a couple of photos to ask on here.

166 Barchetta methinks

Yes, that car lives in St John's Wood....owned by the chap that owns the NART and 250 SWB I think. I drove past him the other day when he was cleaning it outside his garage my 5 yr old son screamed "It's a car from the olden days Daddy".....how right he was!

Did own the NART!!! Was recently sold to an LA based buyer for circa $28,000,000

Owner was Clive Beecham.

The 1950 166MM Barchetta is the ex Jacques Swaters chassis 0064M. Very beautiful indeed.

Well reported in the press, the sale of the late Eddie Smith 275 NART Spyder in August 2013 at the RM auction in the US. One owner from new, chassis number #10709 was sold for $25m (plus auction commission so £27.5m) with the proceeds going to charity. Bought by well known Canadian based collector. The 'photo of the 166 in London looks great and the owner is very fortunate to own a 250SWB and a NART, now apparently sold.
